Are your toddlers ready for pre k?

I just enrolled our boy to pre k-3. But he is so attached to me.

My daughter started pre-k right after turning 3…I’m a sahm and we’ve always been super attached so I was worried but she has loved school since day 1 🤍

In Jan we put our kid in a 2 day a week half day preschool. It felt like a nice balance/transition to get them ready for 5, 1/2 days this coming Sept.

Our kid definitely cried for a bit, but now he lets go of my hand when we are close to the school hurries in.

My daughter started preschool 2 right before her 3rd birthday. We decided to put her in mainly because of behavioral issues at home. She does Mon/Wed/Fri and she absolutely loves it and is doing great.

My daughter started a playgroup twice a week in October 2024. It’s 3 hours and it is run like a pre-school ages 2-3 years old. She was starting to have a lot of behaviors that we found to be normal at her age but still challenging. She loves going to play group now and has many friends there. It has been a good for her to socialize and be with her teachers. She does a good job sharing and listening 90% of the time now. She never cried before going but did say she misses us at school sometimes. I think it was the right decision to send her, hope this helps!

Help! First time mum -

I have a 4 month old and now all of a sudden when he’s been asleep for 1hr30/2hrs he will wake up screaming (high pitched) I’ve tried winding him sometimes that helps, I’ve tried bicycle legs & bringing his knees up but that doesn’t seem to help but he brings his knees up himself sometimes but nothing happens. I’ve noticed since the 4 month mark he has started to struggle passing wind downwards! Any tips?

Bath Time

Help! My baby is 3 and a half weeks old. Every bath she goes in quite happy but will only stay like this for a very few mins, if I try to clean her or move her we have tears and after a few mins the same. It's like she is scared. Our current baby bath is quite big should I try a different one? Looking for any suggestions as want her to enjoy bath time not be upset and I'm scared I'm going to make her hate it😢💗

Crying during feeding

Hey mams! My girl is 6 weeks on Monday and is having so much trouble with feeding. It doesn’t happen every feed but more often than not she will start a bottle and just start crying as if she’s in pain and she can’t take the milk. I think it’s trapped wind but I genuinely don’t know what to do it’s so pitiful to see her not be able to feed! She’s formula fed and on HiPP Organic.
Anyone else been in this position? I’m pretty sure it’s just a bit of trapped wind that she needs to fart out but can’t! If anyone has any advice I’d be very grateful as I think I may need to tape my eyelids open soon 😂
